Rep. Sara Jacobs Releases Statement on Escalation in the Middle East, Hezbollah’s Intercepted Strikes on Tel Aviv
Following the recent escalation in the Middle East and Israel’s interception of Hezbollah’s strikes aimed at Tel Aviv, Rep. Sara Jacobs, the youngest Jewish Member of Congress, released the following statement:
“I’m grateful for everyone who has reached out to me in the wake of Hezbollah’s strikes, and I’m so thankful that my family in Israel and everyone in Tel Aviv is safe. The U.S. will continue to support Israel’s defense – including THAAD and the Iron Dome, which saved so many lives by intercepting these strikes.
“I’m deeply alarmed by the escalating situation between Hezbollah and Israel, and the devastating toll it’s already having on civilians in Lebanon and northern Israel. We must use our significant leverage to get a full ceasefire in Gaza and de-escalation in Lebanon. Ending the war in Gaza is the best way to end the war in Lebanon, allow thousands to return home in northern Israel, and avoid a catastrophic regional war that would endanger millions of civilians.”
